A Topic On Racism

Hey guys… Today is just one of those days. First the thing about booking us a room happened, then while we were out trying to enjoy the rest of our day something even worse happened. I’ll start from the beginning… After our disappointment at the Rodeway Inn I decided to cheer everyone up by taking us out to lunch. My girls kept saying that they were hungry, and my wife was really upset about the situation so this was my attempt at making everyone happy and for the most part it worked.

We went to Brooklyn’s Pizza {best pizza ever} and ordered an 18 inch pepperoni pizza. We sat down, ate, talked, laughed, and were enjoying ourselves. Do you ever get people randomly stopping you to tell you how cute your kids are? That happens to us a lot and I personally don’t mind but sometimes i’m just not in the mood to make small talk with strangers. That being said some white women stopped us on our way out the door and told us how cute our babies are. Since I was in a decent mood I said thank you. Then a Hispanic woman jumped in the conversation and asked me if I was Spanish {yeah… I get so tired of hearing that question.} and I replied, “no but their mother is.”

She smiled and said,” so your kids are Spanish.”

I don’t know why I even bothered but I told her only half Spanish. They’re also have Black, and White in them. When the White ladies heard me say that they whispered to each other “poor kids.” That pissed me off more then i’ve ever been pissed off in my life. I don’t care if you make racial slurs against me but my kids. I gently moved my daughter in the back of me and said,” the only thing that’s poor about this situation is your ignorance but you’re probably too busy fucking your father to realize that you hillbilly bitch.” I must have been quite loud because people were staring but i’ll be honest I don’t care. I will not let anyone make those type of comments towards my family.

After that happened we just left… that just killed the day for us. Watching my daughters play in Big Lots while I was looking for a new mouse pad cheered me up a little but my day is ruined now.

There’s a little something about me that i’m sharing with you guys. I’ll end this with a poll. Do you think I overreacted? Comment below and let me know. Follow Us if you liked this and I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you did i’ll have more for you real soon.

I think that those kind of people are ignorant to focus on such a minor difference in people.
You have to be a certain amount of stupid to be ignorant about most things, but to judge and be racist is the worst thing us Americans can be doing right not considering we have bigger problems and the economy is in the toilet and might as well be flushed.
I use to hate ignorant racist people because I didn’t understand why and all I wanted to do is ask them why do they hate me but the truth is that they don’t even know. Some people become racist from forming their own opinion and some people are taught just as easy as teaching your kids how not to touch the stove or play with knives.
I believe that anybody can stop being racist but just like losing weight it’s about them being ready not someone choosing the time for them but most people go through their whole life thinking this way.
Me personally I don’t like all people because not all people are interesting and cool I only like people that respect me and want what’s best for me not ignorant people that try and put unwanted thoughts in my head. It has nothing to do with skin.
I’m black, white, & Cuban. My family are those races and more. The truth is that you should only care about the power of your mind and not the color of your skin, nothing is handed to you by your skin only the work you have to show.
I like all music not just hip hop I like Rick metal jazz not R&B lol but you get my point.
I don’t expect people to know that about me because some people assume I like rap music and I can’t change that. I like watermelon and I like to spell my words the right way. So I guess I just try and be a person instead of a color, and you guys should too.684738

I probably would have reacted exactly the same way. That lady said such a terrible thing. I once had a roommate who would say really racist things against Hispanics. I’m half Cuban so that made me extremely angry. I confronted her about it and her response was, “you look and act white so it doesn’t apply to you”. I couldn’t leave the room and move out as I was at camp, so I flipped a shit on that girl. Needless to say it was very awkward the remaining weeks.
It’s sad that people today still say and believe such things. It’s getting better though. It’s slow but we’ll get there.

I’ve been through that before. Since i’m half black i’ve gotten a lot of hate growing up in my life. But I will not tolerate people being that way with my kids. I used to get beat on in school and called a lot of racial names that I won’t list in the comments. My own grandmother is one of those old schooled white people that hates black people.

Thank you.
A friend of mine is half black and her grandparents used to be like your grandmother. Thankfully they did eventually change and they became very close with her father (who was black). It shows that people can change and evolve. Not all will of course but that story gives me hope 🙂

My grandfather changed towards the end of life. He became a nicer person but I honestly don’t remember him. I haven’t seen or spoken to my grandmother in over ten years. I know she’s in her 80’s. Maybe she did change but to be honest I don’t really care to find out. I just think people shouldn’t be racist. You never know if that very same race you hate will be in your family one day. My daughters are Dominican, black, and white. They’re beautiful, and how can anyone hate babies. They’ve done nothing wrong, i’m glad your grandparents changed. It takes a lot of courage to admit when you’re wrong.

I try my best to protect them from everything bad in the world. Unfortunately as long as there are people like that they’ll continue to be exposed to it from time to time. Your friend is very lucky, I hope one day every racist person will do the same thing.

I just can’t stand when people are so fucking racist. It dont matter if im black, white, or purple. I’ll have ya know that i’m mixed so it pisses me off that people are still like this. That`s all i got to say!
